I've been runnin' since the day I was born
I'm the definition of the one
Shed a tear for each soul set free
But that's what happens when you dance with me
Pity the man that stands in my way
I'm a nightmare, even in the day
I'd be wise with which words you say
'Cause they could be the last breath you take
Go ahead, baby-doll me
Well I ain't nobody's baby
Baby, I'm an outlaw
Call me a criminal maybe
Baby, I'm an outlaw
You know I ain't evil but I ain't a saint
Can't help it, I was born this way
Oh baby, outlaw
Ooh baby, I'm an outlaw
(Woo!)
I was cornered in the desert by a man
He took the pistol right from my hand
As he put it to my temple, I asked
"Do you think it's gonna be that simple?"
"See, I got a bullet for a tooth and
I'm gonna use it to shoot you"
Even though you got a gun to my head
You'll be the one that ends up dead
Go ahead, baby-doll me
Well I ain't nobody's baby
Baby, I'm an outlaw
Call me a criminal maybe
Baby, I'm an outlaw
You know I ain't evil but I ain't a saint
Can't help it, I was born this way
Oh baby, outlaw
Ooh baby, I'm an outlaw
(Oh!)
(Woo!)
And I looked him right between his eyes
He was terrified
I thought I told you not to baby-doll me
Well I ain't nobody's baby
Baby, I'm an outlaw
Call me a criminal maybe
Baby, I'm an outlaw
You know I ain't evil but I ain't a saint
Can't help it, I was born this way
Oh baby, outlaw
Little baby outlaw
(Oh!)
